The Email Playbook: Email Sales Focused Marketing (Without Burning Your List)
Flash sales, holiday sales, best sellers…they’re all important in generating revenue through email in the short term. But nothing beats the long term impact on your business when you cultivate a relationship with your email list.
Here’s what that looks like:
Ask any email marketer or copywriter how to make more money through email marketing and they’ll tell you this:
- Segment your email list into different parts and email only to those different segments.
- Run nothing but flash sales and huge discounts to make people purchase from you.
- Have a ‘one-size-fits-all’ email automation that will take your subscriber through a ‘customer’ journey.
That’s an old strategy and will burn out your list faster than the Colts burn through quarterbacks.
The competition for the inbox is fierce now – you could spam your subscribers and destroy their trust in you and your hurt your email deliverability. And even if you made a couple of dollars in email revenue during this, you’ll never have a thriving list and will burn your fan base out.
The 3-Steps to Using ‘The Email Playbook’ For Pat McAfee To Build His Empire And Take Ownership of the Colts
There are three steps to execute the Email Playbook Strategy successfully for Pat McAfee
- Step 1: Build his email list by getting his viewers from his popular show off of YouTube and onto his own email list.
- Step 2: Promote his online store merchandise to his growing email list of raving fans.
- Step 3: Promote sponsorships and Live-In Person shows to his list to grow his cult following
Below is a breakdown of how every part of the strategy works. But first let me tell you what this has to do with a playbook.
Have you ever played football before? Or played Madden?
If you have then you know that every team has a playbook – for offense, defense, and special teams.
The better you understand the playbook and execute on the playbook then the better your team performs.
What you’re doing here is following a step-by-step guide on who to block, where to run the ball, what to look for when passing the ball, what the progressions are, what the checks are if the defense comes out in a different alignment…
…then you’re executing on that play and scoring a touchdown.
Once you build your email list, you will have hundreds of thousands of your ideal customers on your team and the Email Playbook will convert them into high lifetime value customers who purchase everything you promote.

Step 1: Build Your Email List From YouTube
According to Hype Auditor, Pat McAfee Show has had over 338,000 views in the last 30 days. The show has over 2 million subscribers and is adding 7,000 NEW subscribers every week.
If Pat and The Boys could capture ONLY 5 percent of that traffic each month, that would be 16,900 NEW email sign ups per month.
Or 202,800 for the year.
And if they were able to convert 20 percent of those 202,800 email subscribers – fans of Pat McAfee and The Boys – into buying a shirt and hoodie for a value of $50…
…then they would be making 2,028,000 dollars a year…
…ON TOP OF WHAT THEY ARE ALREADY MAKING.
“But Ron, how the hell is Pat McAfee going to get people to get on the list?“
Simple, my dear reader.
Every single show Pat and The Boys do giveaways every single day on The Pat McAfee Show.
Instead of having the viewers tweet something with a hashtag and have Foxy or Zito look that hashtag up and pick out the winners, Pat could say to subscribe to their email list and the lucky winners drawn from there.
Why is this important?
Because Pat’s social media presence is FREAKING HUUUUUUUUGE.
But he doesn’t own the asset. Twitter does.
So how can you get access to all of those people who love everything about him and the boys and want to give him MORE money? By having them come into his world through email marketing.
This way you can build a deeper relationship with them while providing them with the giveaways.

As Pat McAfee promotes his giveaways and social media prizes through his email he will gain a valuable asset which will continue to grow.
His email list can be used to promote his merchandise, his sponsors products, his live events, and anything else that’s going on in the world of Pat McAfee and The Boys.
Step 2: Promote his online store merchandise to his growing email list of raving fans.
Pat McAfee’s store has some freaking amazing merchandise. I mean, look at these:
But the problem is he promotes it on YouTube.
Which means if people want to purchase something from his limited time sales or from his specialized merch drops then people have to leave his show and go to the website.
Since the majority of people watch YouTube on their phones then this can cause a headache of navigation and loss of sales.
But if he had a growing email list and ran a simple launch sequence to that list…
…he would sell out of his products within the hour.
So how can he do that?
By using a simple 4 Day Email Sequence that can be used over and over again.
Email 1
This is the announcement email. Nothing fancy. Remember, Pat’s list is FULL of raving fans who are looking for any reason to purchase his merchandise.
(Pat and the Boys can also sprinkle in deals from their sponsor to sweeten the deal.)
Email 2
This is getting a little deeper in the email. We’ve already told them that the merchandise has launched. This is to remind them of the drop, tell them how long they have, and let them know there aren’t many shirts/pullovers/hoodies left.
Why do we want to do this?
Because we want to create FOMO. Remember, this is a limited time merch drop. We want to sell out as fast as possible.
Email 3
This email is simple. Remind them of the sale. Let them know that supplies are running low. They better act fast.
Email 4
This is the final email. You say the sale is closing. There’s only a couple of shirts/pullovers left. At midnight the merchandise will be gone forever.
Now it’s time to talk about how Pat McAfee can maximize his email revenue while getting MORE money from sponsors.
STEP 3: campaign Strategies to Maximize Email Revenue For The Pat McAfee Show
One off merchandise drops won’t bring you the MOST money with your email marketing. Why not? Because one four email sequence isn’t going to maximize your email list.
What you need is a plan.
AND…
You need to show your sponsors how you’re using your email list in a way that will bring in EVEN MORE MONEY for them.
So let’s dive into it.
Tieing In Pat McAfee’s Sponsors Through Email Marketing
Now Pat McAfee has sponsors with:
- Seat Geak
- FanDuel
- Five Hour Energy
- Roman
- Manscaped
Pat is able to get these sponsorships through his incredible YouTube channel. What do you think his sponsors would pay him if his sponsors knew he had a thriving email list that buys everything he promotes?
Let’s dive into how he could use his email marketing for FanDuel.
For those who don’t know, FanDuel is an online sports betting platform. They brought in 1.9 BILLION dollars in 2021.
So how can Pat McAfee get more money out of them than the 30 million a year?
Email Marketing.
See, every single day they have a Super Boost on the show. This draws in new people to the FanDuel platform and grows their company.
Now imagine if Pat emails his list every day about their Super Boost?
Again, The Pat McAfee show bets throughout the week on a variety of different sports. So how great would it be if you got their Super Boost through email when you’re too busy to watch the show to see what was selected?
Here’s how they could do it:
Email 1
A simple email with all of their picks. They could mix in some of what Hammer Dahn talks about as well.
Email 2
This could be for the Super Boost for Thursday’s game or for the Sunday slate of games. You’ll see how you could tie in your call to action with Fan Duel and get more people on the app → helping your drive more customers and users to Fan Duel while using it as a bargaining tool the next time the sponsorship comes up.
Email 3
The 3rd email asks a question in the subject line which will get more people opening and clicking through.
This is just an example of what they could do through FanDuel. They could repeat this strategy for each one of their sponsors and pull in a bunch of freaking money.
The best way to do this if they wanted to would be to break it down by week (with an emphasis on still emailing about FanDuel)
- Week 1 – All FanDuel
- Week 2 – FanDuel on Tuesday and Sunday. Manscape the rest of the week.
- Week 3 – FanDuel on Thursday and Sunday. 5 Hour Energy the rest of the week.
- Week 4 – FanDuel on Thursday and Sunday. Seat Geek for the rest of the week.
